Laser Hair Removal For Darker Skin Tone
s
Y A G laser is a safe and effective hair removal treatment for Asian and black skin tones, considered the gold standard for darker skin tones this works because it has longer wavelengths than other lasers, which allow it to target hair follicles without damaging the skin's melanin.
The concentrated heat of the lasers damages the hair follicle, thus preventing further growth.
The ND YAG laser is safer for darker skin tones because it reduces the risk of burns and hyperpigmentation.
At Paradise you will see me as soon as you arrive. I pride myself on exceptional customer service and commitment to excellence, so we will go out of our way to make you feel comfortable. Before your treatment begins, I will take the time to explain the process and identify the main areas you wish to work on and outline these areas with a white pencil. You will be provided with goggles to protect your eyes from the laser beam, and ultrasound gel will be applied to the area to conduct the energy.
​
Once the treatment starts, I will be asking you on a scale of 1-10 how hot it feels, and there will be a gradual increase in heat. I want you to be at about an 8-9, as this lets us know we are reaching and destroying the hair follicle. Once we feel you’re at the desired temperature for a successful outcome.
​
The sensation is similar to a flicking of elastic bands on the area or pins and needles with a warming sensation. However, sometimes there is no sensation at all, and this typically depends on the location of the body we are treating. The treatment shouldn’t hurt, but it’s normal to experience a mild tingling sensation during your treatment, so you may prefer to wear loose clothes.

Your consultation price is £25.00 to book your consultation.
Laser For Fairer Skin Tones
​
IPL laser hair removal treatment works by heating the hair follicles, which then shed any current hair you have while preventing the growth of any new hair.
IPL uses light energy to target accurately and remove pigmented or damaged skin cells or hair follicles. A therapist will target multiple wavelengths of light onto the skin using a handheld device. This light heats cells in the skin and breaks them down.
Laser hair removal works via IPLs or high-heat lasers. The laser emits a beam of light that targets the melanin in the hair follicle and then vaporizes it.
Unfortunately, as with all light-based hair removal technologies (including salon laser), there are some limitations on who IPL is suitable for.
IPL works best on those with naturally dark blonde, brown or black hair, but sadly white, grey, light blonde or red hair does not contain enough melanin in the hair follicle for it to absorb the light and therefore IPL simply cannot give the right results.
The same limitations apply to skin tone too – IPL is most effective for those with very light to dark brown skin tones, however it is not suitable with those with dark or very dark skin tones (Fitzpatrick skin type VI). At Paradise we offer both.
